The Learning Pit is a metaphor for learning, created by James Nottingham. It is a model that encourages a growth mindset amongst students and encourages them to seek challenges and push themselves beyond their comfort zone. http: //siselementary. blogspot. com/2016/12/introducing-learning-pit-to-grade-six. html
Some signs that you are in The Pit could be: being 'stuck' or not knowing what to do next feeling frustrated or upset feeling lonely or helpless being tempted to give up noticing that you've stopped making progress.
